Generations deserves to be number, numbers don't lie. Story is good - if it was bad, they will be dropping like Scandal and RC. It always makes me laugh when people say Scandal should be number one, well, you are number one when people tune in and why are people not tuning in. Story people - people connect with story, right now Scandal looks like eKasi stories and I always ask myself, eTV has eKasi stories, why create another one on their soap. Those poor families are just boring, soap is escapism, not a place to see poorness and downright poverty and depressing stories, it's to make our minds escape to something else and that's what soap is, no one can dispute that. Don't turn a soap into some reality, documentary show of poor life in SA, we read about that all the time in newspapers, we see it in the news, documentaries show it to us. Why should we see it again in a soap? Depressing in capital letters, that's all I say.

And by the way, even those who own DsTV, they still tune into Generations, it's a proven fact. So, if Generations is such kak, who is forcing them to watch. They have so much option, they must just go to the hundred and something channels that are offered but NO, tghey still watch Generations. GENERATIONS ROCKS!!!!!!! LIKE IT OR NOT, HATERS!!!!!!!!!!

I have come to realise that the word hater is misused quite often, expressing your dislike of something does not mean you hate it or make you a hater.

RC is bad guys, I don't care who says what, it has lost it's spark, they are confused. Those Mamas talking about an aeroplane, I mean really, why are we dumbing down our black mamas like they are stupid and we call it drama, entertainment. It's just an insult to me. So many black characters there on RC are written like they are stupid, dumb people and we are supposed to be proud and say it represents us. I'd never accept that.

You can see it's a white team writing there. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
